First, IANAL. Strangely, though, the FCC may be our friend in this. If I'm not mistaken, regulation and legislation of communications is limited solely to the FCC. One might successfully argue that the states do not have jurisdiction to prosecute such a "crime."
Of course, if the FCC buys into this sort of thing, it's an entirely different game.
Nobody's going to spend the inordinate amount to put proximity readers on the roads. Besides, if you've ever used a prox card before, you'd also know how unlikely this is to work at highway speeds.
The only thing the companies going to know is what tire they sold where and when and onto what car. It probably even means you can get warranty coverage without having the receipt.
I guess you'd probably want to avoid "smash-and-grabs" at tire stores once you have a set. A prox reader might possibly fall against your tire and tell them it was you.
When they put barcodes on my license plate, then I'll worry.
This sounds like Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum over a wire. Essentially you XOR a pseudo-random sequence with the signal. In DSSS the signal rate is much lower than the PRS. The PRS can be as random seeming as you like, even cryptographically generated i would imagine, but it cannot be truly random unless you have an out of band way to communicate the randomness. Usually the spreading is accomplished with a linear feedback shift register sequence that will repeat at regular intervals.
One useful side effect is that you can use two or more different sequences on the same band (or wire) the two underlying signals do not interfere with each other (or not to a great extent).
Anyway it looks like this professor has managed to create the optical equivalent of a linear feedback shift register with two matching lasers.
Say what? I seem to remember being able to buy Damascus knives at various shows. Granted, they're horribly expensive. I don't think the art has ever been really lost. It's just labor intensive, and not very useful technology unless you need a sword. I've had sword-maker/blacksmith friends that have worked on damascus blades (knives only due to cost).
Interesting article, but they've just been playing games with their sponsors money. This isn't about rediscovering a lost technology, it's about a couple of sword-maker neophites figuring it out for themselves.

Cool, in "inventing" moral AI, he's demonstrated Artificial Stupidity.
Caffeine pills go down really easy with a can of Jolt.
Ummm... We just did yank the funding of some guy we don't agree with...

Get a grip guy...

I have the same complaint. I wish I'd found this page first. It has a column that tells you what cards block the stylus and audio.
